So, correct me if I’m wrong, but the news seems to be that Johnson may have secured a slightly worse deal than May, and in their desperation for ANY Brexit, a combination of hypocritical zealots and nervous Labour MPs may well pass it. Have I missed anything?"

What happened to these publications. I dont seek them anymore, not sure of their fate.

Ironically their presence is also killing democracy outside China, on stateside, at their home turf.

Plus the reason they were in China to begin with was precisely because of the non-presence of democracy, making use of that cheap slave labor that could only be controlled through an autocratic state.

More codes useful for presidential campaigns - the culture code for hospital is PROCESSING PLANT - so campaigns which paint someone else's health plan more with bad experiences with hospitals can benefit. U get shoved in there, being processed.. these networks etc.. that can work.

Code 4 presidency - MOSES. POTUS is someone who leads ppl to the promised land. A good candidate needs to be seen as a man on a mission, moving somewhere and asking others to follow him.

Code US gives itself - HOPE. That's why 1992 Clinton campaign was brilliant - "I still believe in a place called 'hope'". This word might have been polluted bcz of Bama who also used it and failed at delivering it recently (as did Clinton before), but there might be other ways to reference it.

[geek]The map-reduce method of big-data is very American. First data is broken up (let loose) then the keys are aggregated at other nodes (contained)[/geek].

The main tug-of-war in US is between containing (prohibition) and allowing, letting it loose. This is at cultural brain level which is at lower -stronger- level to analytical thinking. When they conflct, culture wins.

Message discipline - I talked abt it here briefly; the Clinton 92 campaign, also W campaign, was one of the best users of this. From George Stephapapopolapopolaolpololoolous in All too Human,

But for all of our high-tech toys, the most useful item in the War Room [during the '92 campaign] was a low-tech template — a hand-lettered white board that James [Carville] stuck on a pillar in the middle of the room. It said:

Change vs. More of the Same

The economy, stupid

Don't forget health care

I thought of it as a campaign haiku — an entire election manifesto condensed to nineteen syllables. James drilled it into our heads, and every speech, every event, every attack, and every response had to reflect one of these three commandments.

Why did Hillary lose? She looks like a petite, small lady; Americans (in fact many other voters) like tall-ish, lanky politicians - i.e. Protestan looking. Stocky, butt-close-to-the-ground peasant types don't do so good. You have to look nomadic. Even subconciously ppl seek that.

In terms of general-demenaor, can't be too stiff, too brittle... U need to come across like some stuff can just slide off you, in a backslapping, guys-guy kinda way. You have to be somewhat of an oaf, bonehead - but not much. This is true even for women, maybe for them we can call it tomboy-ishness. If we are to compare women, Warren does this better than Hillary. The folksy can-opening, drinking video in the beginning of campaign is a guys-gal move. Even for women voter that is more preferable than brittle, static, Catholic-like, "the punisher" hanımağa.

It makes sense how a little touch of oaf is attractive for the die-hard followers, volunteers as well; they need to be comfortable their head won't get bit off at the slightest wrong move. So a little oaf makes better followers.

Elected Presidents are mostly like this; Trump is an oaf. Even Obama was somewhat of an oaf. Dubya 10-out-10 - in his case it bordered on dumbass, but it didn't matter. People still preferred him over Gore - the textbook definition of stiff. One Silicon Valley episode had the best joke on him, one character said Gore came across like a "narcoleptic plantation owner".

Direct correlation with food culture and agrarian empire in your past, obviously. With the empire gone, u enjoy the food.

I shouldn't be surprised; During another pol crisis / onslaught these ppl were discussing whether to have a gourmet scrambled egg dish "with onions or without onions". Huge discussion. This is Rome. The transition to post-empire, food-style-fashion economy (as in Italy) should have happened already, wholesale, but partly the country is stil old Rome, looking for genocide, expansion, etc. Timescale on that part needs to be sped up - or its culture removed.

"U.S. to deploy large number of forces to Saudi Arabia" - Reuters

No you cannot understand this you second, third generation "foreign" dumbass who thinks they are still "Polish", or "Italian" even tho they are 100% American. Your thing has to do with latching onto a minority-as-ornament feeling, post Michael Jackson "represent" culture, that is as farsical as your assumed foreign identity. Go gently fuck yourself. The kids table is over there.

Believe me the last thing the world needs is these dimwits "coming back to the world scene" in the traditional sense.

Kemal tried to change this feeling, so ppl identified with the most recent state, its advance, not the loss of petty old rulers. Sadly after the TR fascist coup of 1980, combined with the "Green Belt" strategy of US all that shit came back. Most of these Pol Pot type punks you see walking around today are the products of that era.

Tigger nationalism, much like mainland Chink nationalism, rests on a general feeling of "coming back to the world scene". The "back" part is due to the agrarian genocidal past related to mafia-king-sultan who needs to project fear to keep his farm-land united, which does not exist anymore due to [insert event here]. Opium War, World War 1, whatever. These ppl held on and nursed their pain throughout the years, all the way up to now, whether justified or not. This pain somehow flied under the radar, mostly unseen. The loss is actually understandable, in case of Ottomans, the naval empires putting and end to their dominance, or from another angle, second wave beating first wave, just like the agrarian South in US losing to industrial North. But the nurse-pain-come-back-in-1st-wave-terms feeling lingers, creating unnecessary tension.

"Cost of Green Hydrogen in the Gulf

To produce 1 kg of hydrogen requires 50kWh of electricity and since solar energy could cost 3 $ct/kWh in the Gulf, the energy cost to produce hydrogen is 1.5 $/kg. An electrolyser costs approximately $600,000 per MW but is projected to cost $400,000 in a few years from now. Assuming 8,000 annual full load hours, a 1MW electrolyser coupled to a solar system would produce 160,000 kg of H2 per year. Assuming a 10-year life and linear depreciation, this would add 0.25 $/kg to the cost of the hydrogen. The overall cost of green hydrogen made from sunshine and water in the Gulf could be as low as 1.75 $/kg"
